Most writers just figured Rush was back on Oxycontin again, but I'm not afraid to do the research. Below lies a scrupulously scientific comparison:

MITT ROMNEY

Has six houses

Refuses to disclose tax returns

Has 100 million in IRA

Saved Salt Lake City Olympics

Big problem is Bain

BATMAN

Has one house and one really cool cave

As cartoon character, not obligated to file taxes

Has no plans for retirement

Saves Gotham City every time the Bat-Signal is turned on

Big problem is Bane

BATMAN

Attacks monstrous criminals who are out to destroy our way of life

Has secret identity

Wears costume to combat evil

Has car elevator for Batmobile

Wears mask to make super-villains think he's one of them

Caped Crusader

Has Robin, Boy Wonder, for sidekick

MITT ROMNEY

Attacks teen-age boys with long hair

Has secret bank accounts

Wears borrowed State Trooper uniform to frighten friends

Wants car elevator in La Jolla

Wears jeans to make ordinary Americans think he's one of them

Flip-Flopper

Still looking for the right sidekick

Now for the bonus part of this post, Is Rush Limbaugh Really Jabba the Hut?

JABBA

Lives in anti-gravity tent over pit full of giant snakes

Species unknown, but definitely invasive

Likes supple young women in brief costumes, even though he's obviously not human

Overweight, no-necked monster

Only one of his kind

Has Han Solo by the testicles

Nature of genitals, reproductive system unknown

Bloated bag of irredeemable evil

RUSH

Lives in Florida

Ditto

Likewise

Ditto

Mercifully so

Has Republican Party by the testicles

Viagra works for him

Ditto

You've got to admit, some eerie parallels here! Make sure you check back for my next fearless comparison between a real human being and a character from juvenile fiction: Is Michelle Obama Really Lieutenant Uhuru?
